docker-container-export - Export a container's filesystem as a tar archive

       Export  the  contents  of  a container's filesystem using the full or shortened container ID or container
       name. The output is exported to STDOUT and can be redirected to a tar file.

       Stream to a file instead of STDOUT by using -o.

       Export the contents of the container called angry_bell to a tar file called angry_bell.tar:

       $ docker export angry_bell > angry_bell.tar
       $ docker export --output=angry_bell-latest.tar angry_bell
       $ ls -sh angry_bell.tar
       321M angry_bell.tar
       $ ls -sh angry_bell-latest.tar
       321M angry_bell-latest.tar
